Fun Traditions

My kids rock!! I started a tradition many years ago, where Laurence and Laurisa the Leprechauns come to visit on St. Patrick's Eve. They usually leave the kids a little treat and then color the kids green...not a lot, just some marks on their arms and maybe their face. The kids love it and in the past couple of years have tried to catch the leprechauns. So here is picture of this years trap. They made it look like a house. Then in the door way, behind the mailbox, they put a trap door and covered it with some pennies to intice Laurence and Laurisa in. According to the note that Laurence and Laurisa left, Laurisa fell in but luckily used her magic to escape. The kids got some green L-shaped sugar cookies with chocolate sprinkles from the Leprechauns. They loved it!!!

LOVE these ideas! We never do anything at all for St. Patrick's day. If it weren't for Jake's preschool doing some similar stuff this year, my kids wouldn't even know what the holiday was...
